Edna Staebler Writer-in-Residence

Every other year, we invite a popular Canadian author to participate in our Writer-in-Residence program.

Each author provides a series of public workshops at our libraries, and provides one-on-one coaching to selected local writers.

Our next Writer-in-Residence will be announced Spring 2018.

In 1996, Kitchener Public Library’s Writer-in-Residence program was established by acclaimed author and library advocate, Edna Staebler. Her generous endowment is intended to provide local writers with the expertise needed to develop their craft, as well as encouragement to "keep at it".
